at a 10u tournament this past weekend, championship game, 2 umpires for the game (all other games had one).
after second inning, the two umpires switch roles. never seen this before or even heard of it. end of 4th, they switch again.
my thing is, hitters, catchers, and pitchers are just figuring out first umpires strike zone by end of second, then htye have to start all over again. I always tell my DD (not a pitcher, but as a hitter), she needs to adjust to umpires strike zone, as they will surely not adapt to what you think it should be (she has a habit of being too choosy), that all you ask is consistency. what do you tell them in this instance?
